Hopefully the new cite.php reference formatting
will help in this
regard. Reference text can now be bundled directly with the text
that it
is a reference for with the list of references at the bottom of the
page
being automatically compiled from that. It makes it impossible to have
"orphan references" now, and perhaps having the full description of
the
referenced material in place will make it harder for an editor to
accidentally delete it when removing unrelated material.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Footnotes for anyone who was
unaware of the new system. I'm loving it. :)
Oh, I should have said something nice about it in the first place. It
is, literally, a dream come true.
<hip></hip><hooray/>!
I only wish (well, you knew that was coming) that there was a way for
a reader to hide/show the superscripted links to the references.
By the way, I've created a references converter that does a pretty good
job of automatically converting from the old {{ref}} and {{note}} format
into the new <ref> format. Check it out here:

Just make sure to follow the instructions to the letter.
